About

Learn bushcraft or archery skills on a private country estate overlooking the Duddon estuary and Coniston Fells. We run various Bushcraft courses from fun half day sessions to more advanced full days. Maybe you’d prefer to try your hand at archery with excellent tuition, plenty of games and friendly competition, or how about combining the two activities for a full day of fun

Introduction to Bushcraft

Get back to nature, share a new experience and join us in our private woodland.

An introductory Bushcraft experience designed specifically for families. The session is based on the core principles of survival and is presented in a fun and informative way. A great way to spend quality time with all the family.

This half day session will be a hands-on experience of shelter building, foraging, wild cooking and fire lighting.

The venue for the course is on a beautiful private country estate and takes place in a stunning oak woodland, with views of the surrounding mountains and out to the Duddon estuary. There is a central area covered with a large parachute so you can stay dry whatever the weather and also a composting toilet provided for your comfort throughout the day.

The session will start with a walk around the woodland, getting used to your surroundings and identifying potential resources.

You will find and identify a good shelter building site and construct a shelter from natural materials.

There will be the opportunity to have a go at building a fire using flint, steel and natural tinder. Adults can try out the fire bows! You'll have a go at cooking damper bread or mini pizzas over the open fire and boiling some water in a Ghillie kettle for making hot chocolate and brews.

You'll be shown how to safely use a knife and have a go at carving a whistle which you can take away with you.

A fantastic fun way to get out with the whole family, learn some new skills and enjoy the peace and tranquilly of the woodland and all it has to offer.

Suitable for children and families.

Allow 3 hrs - £49 per person.

Bushcraft Fundamentals Course (1 Day)

A comprehensive introduction to Bushcraft, designed to give you some skills and knowledge which would be helpful in a survival situation. This fun 1 day course is based on the core principles of survival: fire, food, shelter and water.

The venue for the course is on a beautiful private country estate and takes place in a stunning oak woodland, with views of the surrounding mountains and out to the Duddon estuary. There is a central area covered with a large parachute so you can stay dry whatever the weather and also a composting toilet provided for your comfort throughout the day.

The day will start with a walk around the woodland, getting used to your surroundings and identifying potential resources. You’ll also have the opportunity to forage for plants too (season dependant).

Following this you'll start the task of lighting a fire and preparing lunch. Collecting and cooking food can take a surprisingly large portion of your time. Lunch will be a complete rainbow trout prepared by you along with roasted potatoes and some dough for garlic bread. This will be served with accompaniments.

You'll discover different methods of fire lighting throughout the day using various natural materials.

Your instructor will give you important safety information regarding the correct use of knives and axes so that you can confidently collect and prepare wood for fire lighting and also have a go at carving your own eating utensil. You'll be gifted your own knife to use for the day and take away with you after the course.

In the afternoon you'll identify good shelter sites to build and construct a basic shelter from natural materials and bivi sheets.

A great fun day out and a fantastic way to get out into nature and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of natural woodland.

Allow 6hrs - £95 per person (includes lunch, brews and a specialist bushcraft knife).

Archery Taster Session

Fancy yourself as the next Robin Hood or Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games? Join us for a fun packed archery session. Your instructor will provide expert tuition on how to fire arrows safely. Once everyone is firing straight and true - competitions and action-packed games and prizes will follow. This session takes place in a stunning, elevated location on a private country estate with lovely views of the Coniston Fells in the distance.

Great fun for all.

Allow 2hrs - only £30 per person.

Canoe and Bushcraft

Combine a Bushcraft course with an ancient way of travelling on water - Canoeing. Journey on one of the Lake Districts beautiful lakes and visit places you can’t get to by foot and develop some bushcraft skills along the way? Park your canoes on the lake shore and let our expert instructors teach you the fundamentals of bushcraft.

For a half day we will cover the exciting and essential skill of how to make a fire using traditional methods of flint and steel and fire bows. You’ll be able to boil water to make a brew plus have a go at some basic knife work.

On full day sessions, you’ll get more time to perfect different methods of fire lighting, have a go at filleting and cooking Rainbow Trout for lunch and cook this over your fire along with some homemade garlic bread, potatoes and salad.  We’ll teach you how to use a knife and axe safely. Ever fancied whittling your own spoon? We'll show you how under the eye of our experienced instructors (age dependant).

Half day (3hrs) - £49 per person.

Full day (6hrs) - £95 per person (including lunch, brews and a specialist Bushcraft Knife).
